Week 3:
WALT: question what we read and its purpose Your task is to think about this story and come up with one or two reasons why the author wrote it.
What is the story about? Its about this world who woke up one morning and everything changed colour but a blue bird. :-)
What is the hidden message or is there one at all? No there is no hidden message. I wondered if perhaps there was a message about keeping the blue jay in the cage? They had a funny response to the disaster - put a bird in a cage. Is it written to entertain us and if so how? Yes everything changed colour but a blue bird and the scientists are trying to find out how. It was very entertaining, I agree.
What is the moral of this story - OR make a moral of your own for this story: If he was still the colour blue and what it had all meant

WALT:Use speech marks correctly
The boys were speechless , Evil Baxen was biting the ground in time with the music. There was a big hole in the floor boards. “Greetings Earthlings,” Evil Baxen said quietly, "I come from planet wax, a planet far, far away. Quickly commaI can feel the pulse getting stronger, come on.” “Where are we going?” said Oscar. “You’ll find out.” [said Evil Baxen "] grabbing Sam’s arm. Mrs Parker wrote: well done on creating atmosphere and your correct use of punctuation. Just go through now and make the final editing corrections pls.

Next right click on your alien in Powerpoint and choose save as a picture. Save into your folder on the server name Oscar Alien no background.
Finally you need to upload that picture into wikispaces. Ask Annah to show you how. :-)
